Trust Model
A chain of Trust between the Sender of a Message and the Recipient
is created, which allows to associate the three entities with the
know extent of trust of at least the weakest link in the chain.
- The Sender is associated to the Mail Storage Server via a Recipient-public
registration.
Recipient-public means, that at least the Recipient of a message has
access to the Directory establishing the registration.
- The posted Message is associated to the Sender via a Mail Storage-public
registration.
- Any notification message issued upon a Message is associated to the
Mail Storage Server with a Notification Server-public registration.
- A notification delivery is associated to the Notify Server via a Recipient-public
registration.
- A message collection order is associated to the Recipient via a Notify
Server-public registration.
- Collection of a message is asociated to the Notfiy Server and
to the Recipient via Mail Storage-public registrations.
- A message retrieval order is associate to the REcipient via a Notify
Server-public registration.
- Retrieving a Message needs asociation to the Recipient via a Mail
Storage-public registration.
- Scanning for messages needs asociation of the Recipient to the messages
via a Mail Storage-public registration.
